Classical and romantic styles blend happily in "the Athens of the North". It´s great buildings are explored including this Palace of Holyrood house, with its memories of the tragic Mary, Queen of the Scots and Edinburgh´s mighty castle which dominates the city from its rocky outcrop over the elegant 18th century streets of the New Town.
